AT&T block for New York iPhone Sales

AT&T has apparently found a workable solution to the reported data congestion in New York City. They've quietly stopped selling the iPhone from their web site to customers in the New York metropolitan area.

I guess that's one way to solve the problem.

Reader Stephen in Brooklyn made the discovery while shopping for a new phone today.

Apple developing radio app for iphone

Citing anonymous sources, the Apple news site says the functionality of the application will be similar to what Apple built into the iPod Nano. That includes the ability to pause live FM transmissions and fast-forward when you resume playing.

According to 9 to 5 Mac, the delay in getting the app to market is Apple’s decision to integrate it with the iTunes Store, which is built into the devices. With this integration, people will be able to tap on a song they hear on the radio and buy it through iTunes.

Of course, Apple wouldn’t be the first company to offer some type of FM functionality on the iPhone. Applications like Wunder Radio have been around for over a year and enable people to stream Internet radio to their iPhone and iPod Touch.

The big advantage Apple would have is linking its application to the iTunes Store, which creates the potential for more revenue.

iPhone 3.1 may cause jailbreak problem

Apple is expected to release the iPhone 3.1 update either tomorrow or shortly after the event tomorrow. Of course as with every update, jailbreakers and people who unlock should be wary as Apple tries to nullify the process with each patch.

Here is the Dev Team’s reminder;

“If you update to Apple’s new software using the normal iTunes process, you will lose your ultrasn0w unlock. In fact you may lose it permanently, because for most people the baseband firmware cannot be reverted to a previous version (unlike the main application CPU firmware).”

The Dev Team usually posts a fresh hack within days if not hours of every new release so there is no need to fret. Still, don’t rush to download the new firmware right away.

Update:We apologize for the confusion this may have caused. To clarify, the Dev team has not said that you would lose your jailbreak only your Ultrasn0w unlock if you update the firmware by normal means through iTunes.
